Chapter 530 Your behavior affects my training
After Gu Sanjing arrived at the team, she went back to the dormitory first. Zuo Mingyan hadn't gone to training yet. Seeing her come back, she said, "I thought you were going to take a day off."
"The full moon banquet will only last for the morning." Gu Sanjing opened the cabinet, took out the clothes she usually wore for training, and then went to the training ground with Zuo Mingyan.
On the way, they saw several men in suits following the leaders of the General Administration of Sports into the office building. Zuo Mingyan said, "I guess it's another brand looking for an endorsement."
In recent years, China's economy has grown rapidly, and television advertising has become increasingly popular. Many brands like to use athletes as their spokespersons. Zuo Mingyan has accepted two endorsements.
"I guess the leader is going to look for you again." Zuo Mingyan said.
Gu Sanjing has a good image, and many brands contacted the team. Their first request was to have her be their spokesperson, but Gu Sanjing refused any of them.
At present, she is only the spokesperson for one brand, that is Guangming Supermarket.
"I just find it troublesome." Gu Sanjing said.
She is not short of money and does not want to become famous, so there is no need to waste time on endorsements.
The two of them entered the training ground, changed their clothes and started training. Sure enough, after the training, the leader of the Propaganda Department found her.
After asking her a few questions about her training, he said, "Sanjing, they want you to be the spokesperson for their sportswear brand. They said all you have to do is film a commercial with them, and they won't bother you with anything else. And they said the endorsement fee is 100,000 yuan a year."
The head of the Publicity Department's voice tinged with excitement when he mentioned the 100,000 yuan figure. He was responsible for nearly every endorsement for a national sports team, and this was his first time dealing with a brand that offered him 100,000 yuan a year as an endorsement.
Ten thousand! What does this mean?
His current monthly salary is only more than 300 yuan, and 100,000 yuan is an astronomical figure to him.
But when Gu Sanjing heard the 100,000 yuan endorsement fee, her expression remained normal. She said, "Director Luo, I really don't want to accept advertising endorsements."
"But one hundred thousand..."
Director Luo was halfway through his words when he remembered that Gu Sanjing had plenty of money and swallowed the rest of his words. After a while, he continued, "Who would complain about having too much money? Right!"
Gu Sanjing didn't want to keep talking about this with him, so she said apologetically, "Director Luo, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, she strode over to Zuo Mingyan, and the two of them left the training ground together. Director Luo looked at their backs and could only shake his head. Some people's lives are born to be envied.
Gu Sanjing originally thought that the endorsement matter was over, but unexpectedly, two weeks later, Director Luo found her again and said that the brand offered a higher price this time, an annual endorsement fee of 200,000 yuan.
"Sanjing, although you are not short of money, who can resist money?" Director Luo advised Gu Sanjing.
This time, Gu Sanjing was truly impatient. She had told her countless times that she wouldn't accept endorsements, yet they kept coming to her. She absolutely didn't believe Director Luo hadn't taken advantage of the brand.
"Director Luo, I'm telling you for the last time that I won't accept endorsements, no matter how high the fee is. You don't have to look for me for this matter in the future." Gu Sanjing turned and left. Some people will always pretend not to understand you unless you explain things to them clearly.
Director Luo was mortified. Although his position wasn't high, he was still an office director, and it was rare for someone to treat him with such disdain. He returned to his office with a sullen face, where two people sat.
One of them, with curly hair and a floral shirt, dangling his legs, looked like a big shot. He was the man who had almost bumped into Gu Sanjing on the day of the triplets' full-month banquet. When he saw Director Luo come in, he raised his chin and asked, "Did you agree?"
Who wouldn't want money? Director Luo considered himself an intellectual and looked down on this man's attitude, but after all, he was rich. He sat down, took a sip of water from his teacup, and said, "I'm sorry, Gu Sanjing didn't agree."
The man in the flowered shirt sat up straight and said in disbelief, "What did you say? You didn't agree?"
"No, she didn't agree." Director Luo sounded somewhat disappointed. After all, his benefits were gone. He added, "No matter how much money the endorsement fee was, she wouldn't accept it. Her family is very wealthy."
"Rich, how rich can you be?" Can you be as rich as me? Huashanzi felt that what Director Luo said insulted his money.
Director Luo really looked down on his nouveau riche demeanor and said, "You know Guangming Supermarket, right? It's owned by Gu Sanjing."
The man in the flowered shirt was stunned for a moment, then continued to act like he was the richest man. "It's just selling a few odds and ends. How much can you make? Go tell her, if she thinks the money is too little, I can add more. I don't believe that there is anything that can't be done without money."
Director Luo was in a dilemma. He took out a stack of money and placed it in front of him. "As long as you can let me have a meal with Gu Sanjing, all this money will be yours."
Director Luo looked down at the thick stack of money—at least five thousand yuan. He clenched his fists, feeling that the man before him was too rude and too contemptuous, but he also really liked the money.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I don't think we can have dinner together. Athletes on the team don't usually eat out casually. How about this, I ask you to take a photo with Gu Sanjing?"
The man in the flowered shirt had bright eyes. "How did we take a photo together? Is she taking a photo with me in her diving outfit?"
Director Luo felt a little disgusted. Although the clothes divers wear when diving are quite revealing, few people would have obscene thoughts. After all, it is an Olympic sport. Athletes are winning glory for their country, who would have any other thoughts?
But when he saw the stack of money, he still endured it.
"I'm afraid that won't work. Ordinary people are not allowed to enter the athletes' training grounds. Besides, they will change clothes after leaving the training grounds." Director Luo said.
The man in the flowered shirt was disappointed, but still said, "That's fine."
Director Luo was happy and put the stack of money into the drawer. "Gu Sanjing has finished her training at this time, so she has time."
He stood up and walked out, and the man in the flowered shirt and the other man quickly followed. Director Luo led them to the dormitory door and said to the dormitory manager, "Please call Gu Sanjing for me. I need to talk to her."
The doorkeeper naturally knew him, so she answered and went upstairs to find Gu Sanjing. Hearing that Director Luo was looking for her again, Gu Sanjing was really angry and said to the dormitory manager, "Please tell Director Luo that the coach wants to see me. I need to go to the coach right away."
"Okay." The dorm manager left, and Gu Sanjing thought for a moment before leaving the dormitory. When she reached the door, she saw Director Luo smiling and talking to a man in a flowered shirt. She pretended not to see him and walked right past him.
"Sanjing." Director Luo saw her catching up with him, and the woman in the flowered shirt followed.
"Sanjing, this is..."
"Director Luo," Gu Sanjing interrupted him, "I'm going to find the coach now and tell her that your behavior is affecting my training."
